Pressure injury has been covered widely in recent editions and we have collated a few articles you might enjoy, which tackle this persistent health issue from a variety of angles.

More about STOP PI Day

Pressure injuries are a serious public health challenge that,according to research, costs the Australian hospital system around $9 billion. But, like many wounds, they can be prevented or healed quicker with the right diagnosis and treatment at the right time. We mark STOP PI Day on the third Thursday of every November as a way of spreading awareness and educating people around pressure injury prevention and healing.
